Do you have any information you would like to share with us concerning Fort Detrick, water contamination, soil contamination, or toxic exposure?

1. Worries me that my friends and family are exposed to toxic exposure and they don't even know it! People have the right to know what is going into their bodies!

2. No,but have always thought there was a connection with people in the area with cancer. Would like to learn more about it. Thanks

3. My mom and our family lived on Military Road for years and out of 6 children my mom who didn't smoke, drink or do anything was the only one who had cancer. We lost her 3 years ago at the early age of 67. My step sister who lived 2 streets away was diagnosed with breast cancer and no one else in her family has had any cancer. I am convinced Detrick was/is very hazardous. Frederick County has one of the highest cancer rates in the nation with a large majority being 40 and younger.

4. I only know that when my father worked there in the 60's and 70's, when we asked what he did there we were told he could not tell us as it was secret.

5. Over the past several years I have seen huge black barrels up on the side of Shookstown Rd. Now they have brought in thousands of tons of soils to cover up "something". When driving up to my parents house it makes you think of the "X" files. When we had several feet of snow fall this year we noticed that all the snow was melted where they barrels use to be. There were snow mounds all around but absolutely no snow over a pretty large area of space.

6. I had no idea and will be passing along the website and information to my family.

7. A household member has died from brain cancer.

8. My father was treated for Lymphoma and my sister has been treated for leukemia.

As well as this, Kristin's son's father, also a Frederick resident was diagnosed with cancer just 2 years prior to Kristin's diagnosis!
